Phish live always a nice surprise

June 11, 2010

You can get ready for a live Phish performance all you want by listening to the band's CDs. But you will still be unprepared when the group hits the stage, as the jam band is known for its improvising. Expect no different for this Toyota Park concert. Which is cool, because Phish has gotten better reviews for its live shows than its recorded music. What can be guaranteed is that Trey Anastasio won't be wearing a Chicago Blackhawks jersey; the Phish frontman is a Philadelphia Flyers fan. 7 p.m. Friday at Toyota Park, 7000 S. Harlem Ave., Bridgeview. $46.50; 800-745-3000,ticketmaster.com
